Ron Paul is the only Republican I would vote for.
Though my vote would go to Penn and Teller if they ran as Libertarians.

GLOBAL WARMING/THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL
Any and I mean any environmental cause or approach must be grassroots in nature. Having PhD's talk about global warming and having those representing industry interests debunk these present theories is a high level and almost an entirely futile effort. Don't get me wrong, it is great that someone with Al Gore's connections and exposure is getting the word out. However, people are people they want to see results.
Yes, the expression is now trite but still true, "Thing Globally, Act Locally". Watching the sky over a city, town or even a more rural area become darkened by smog has local impact, people take note and actually see A PROBLEM. A problem that can measured in terms of air quality or perhaps an AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX like the one that the provincial government in Ontario, Canada is in the process of implementing. You can measure results (however small) in terms of air quality and the affect it has on the health care system (those with breathing problems, doctor's visits, etc). It certainly speaks to the advantage of a UNIVERSAL health care system (however, actually implemented) as it actually makes sense to improve the environment as it keeps people healthy (a humanitarian cause) and when health care it publicly funded it affects the public coffers when people become ill therefore it even makes better financial sense to keep the environment a top priority.
Plus any approach must be entire with a complete overall plan (the big picture). Including recycling initiatives, energy solutions (alternatives/renewables can now present a real potential financial threat to the big oil companies and even power companies...), government involvement at all levels, public transit, greener vehicles in general (Hybrid, Hydrogen, Conventional electric, bio-diesel, ethanol), conservation in all energy arenas, ETC!
Economic viability is the real sell as many of these solutions are just that economically sensible (ensuring we look at the entire picture). Yes as more people use solar, wind and other renewable energy sources the cheaper the technology will get. Two of the newest billionaires have earned a large portion through renewables Solar (India I believe) and Wind (China I believe). Yes in many ways developing nations and economies will be the first and early adopters of such renewable tech as they are just building much of their infrastructure.
So what do we all need to do? GET INVOLVED ! Contact your local government about improving your recycling program, contact provincial/state/federal government about the adopting of these new technologies (renewables such as solar/wind), buy gas with ethanol in it and demand it, use and demand bio diesel, buy products with less packaging and demand manufacturers to reduce packaging and to offer a price break as a result. More ECONOMIC VIABILITY! After all energy diversity just like economic diversity is the safest and best bet for good long term results and return on investment.

Tom Tancredo (Republican Representative from Colorado), George Allen (Republican Senator from Virginia), That's my ticket. Whichever is President or Vice-President does not matter to me. Although, for purely sentimental reasons, I'd rather they be the Democrats and all the rest be the Republicans.
And I swear, if it's McCain v Clinton, I'm voting 3rd party again! Chris Simcox 2008!!!

Tom Tancredo and Condoleeza Rice
That's my dream ticket.
The only Democrat I trust with national security is Joe Lieberman. But, to have a Jewish Prez or Vice Prez would not help us gain the cooperation of Islamic nations in the War on Terror.

I believe that Guiliani and McCain would make a good team, I also think they'd be an unbeatable team.
Imagine Guiliani v. Clinton, I think he'd whip her up and down!
Wouldn't mind seeing John Edwards as democratic frontrunner, I wouldn't vote for him but I wouldn't hate him as President.
By the way, he isn't a Senator anymore is he? I didn't think he ran for re-election.

Probably John Edwards, but I don't know enough about the other democrats you listed except for Gore and Clinton...
Guiliani and McCain might not be too bad, for Republicans...

Russ Feingold all the way. Feingold stands on principle and he is is willing to stand alone and fight for those principles.
